used to play lots of games at my grandparents’ house. Sometimes, we’d go
fishing, too. After that, we’d bring some fish to my grandma. She would fry or
grill the fish. My grandpa used to make pottery. He’d let us play with the clay

clouds. Or we’d walk out to the fields and sketch the country.
Those afternoons at my grandparents’ home are some of my favorite
memories. My grandparents don’t live there anymore, and sometimes I miss
their old house in the country.

B.Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
My name’s An, and I live in Can Tho. My family used to live in a cottage
in Cà Mau. We used to live near my grandparents, and I’d walk to their house
after school with my sister and wait for my parents to come home.
I always had a good time while I was there. I have many cousins, and we
used to play lots of games at my grandparents’ house. Sometimes, we’d go
fishing, too. After that, we’d bring some fish to my grandma. She would fry or
grill the fish. My grandpa used to make pottery. He’d let us play with the clay
and try to teach us how to make clay pots. I was really bad at it and couldn’t
make anything that looked like a pot. My sister was better and made some
small pots for us. Sometimes, we’d climb one of the trees around my

15
grandparents’ house and sit there looking at the rice fields, the river, and the
clouds. Or we’d walk out to the fields and sketch the country.Those
afternoons at my grandparents’ home are some of my favorite memories. My
grandparents don’t live there anymore, and sometimes I miss their old house
in the country.
